The click Of the ha MINER is heard
on every side as we pass along the
street. Evidently Spring is approach
ing and the spirit of improvements is
abroad. Just little of go-ahead-a-
tiveness, in Olympia, is very much
needed, and will not damage ite ap-
pearance, in many directions, in the
least.
The attention of our readers is di-
rected to the new advertisements in
this issue, as we'll as to the older an
nouncements of our live business men.
1t is the enterprise of such men that
keep the city alive, and the conse-
quence is that they do by far the
greater part of the business of the
community.
During the low tide last Monday,
the steamer Fleetwood was secured on
an even keel to enable a force of men
to work at her screw. The old blades
we're removed and new ones put in
their place. This is a decided I'M
provement, and the change will have
the effect to increase the speed OF the
nimble craft.
Alex. Switzerland, who last Spring
suffered from a severe cut in the ankle
joint, is again Frustrated by a bad cut
in his foot. Some enterprising Yankee
would do a portion of humanity a
great service by devising stee! shoe

the loggers who handle their axes in
such a reckless manner.
Oscar Cooper, young man about
20 years of age, who lived with his
parents on Eastside about a year ago,
died lately at McMinnville. Oregon,
of consumption. Oscar was well
known to many of the Olympia youth,

member of the brass band at the time
when it attained such a marked prof.
cheney.
One of the best opportunities for OBJ
tanning an improved farm of ample

of cereals or vegetables, and has large
area under cultivation, including fine
orchard. Read his advertisement in

Messrs. Clayton Aldridge and R. B.
Hoy have bought Mr.. Canaday's stock
Of groceries, and will hereafter con-
tinue the business at the old stand,
corner of Washington and Fourth
Streets, under the firm name of AID

men, of industry and enterprise, and
will doubtless maintain the high repu-
tation of this house for fair and hon
est dealing.
Tuesday night, on the arrival of the
Fleetwood at the Ellis wharf, Sig
Bettman missed his bearings and
walked from the platform adjoining
the warehouse into the bay. After
clinging to pile for a while and
shouting Justify, he was rescued minus
his hat and plus several years growth
from the fright occasioned by his sud-
den plunge into the cold and remorse-
less blue sea.

English violets were prominent speci-
mems in the fragrant collection. The
bouquet was from an Eastside gar
den.

McCausland, in East Olympia, on
Wednesday evening, which was we'll
attended and the occasion Of much
social enjoyment, if We may judge
from the report of one who partici-
pated in the season of pleasure. The
rooms we're crowded with ladies, gen
tlemen and young people. A bounti-
full repast of rare excellency and deli
cacy was discussed amid harmony and
